Default Bilstein Coil Overs or QA1's

I just got a set of Bilstein / Eibach coil overs.....I'm happy with my Hotchkins sway bars, Z06 leafspring, QA1 set up......What advantage of any am I going to get from the coil overs? I already have the ability to raise and lower the car as much as I want along with the 12 way dampning adjustment.....????? I got them at a good price....so I didn't pass it up........

Bilstein coilovers are good for handling and durability.
QA1 are of course known for adjustability, good for dragstrip.

Here are our Coil overs with Hypercoil springs and aluminum
revalveable shocks.

We use the same shocks on our world challenge car.

Thanks

Lou,

Would you be able to say if Renton's Titanium Auto Racing Coil Springs work with your coilover package? It'd be nice to cut out more unsprung weight! It'd be nice to beat Chevy & Timet's timetable for using these on our Vette's too.
